Sunny Sunday + Sweet Obsession

If you know me, I'm a HUGE fan of sweets. I can eat sweet as meal replacement, and since I work at a teahouse I often get to take home our desserts .

I've heard a lot of good things about this dessert place called ''Sweet Obsession'' and been itching to try it out. It was a Sunday off for both me and Sharon so we decided to go check it out. Our day off always started late as we both love sleeping in, plus makeup+hair time, we only made it out of the house by 1pm.

Originally we were gonna have lunch at this Sukiyaki restaurant, but when we got there it was already closed for lunch. We had no choice but to go to a close by Hongkong cafe called ''Honolulu''. I went past that place a lot before but never went inside, and noticed it's always pretty busy. Appearently quite a few people I know recommended this place too.

Camwhoring while waiting for food
The food was quite cheap as they had their own lunch special, but you get what you pay for, it was just so so. What can I expect for a $8 lunch combo eh?


I'm not a picky eater so i had no complain bout the food. However the service did tick me off. There were a lot of servers there, I'm surprised they can't manage at least some acceptable customer service. As a server myself I'm quite nitpicking when it comes to customer service. When our food was delivered, the waitress literally throw the plate down on the table corner, without LOOKING at us or even introduce the item. We had to figure out the dish ourselves. With that kind of service it's no better than an AYCE place, I guess they dont expect to get tipped anyway.


After lunch we took a walk along Main Street. I really love this area, there're a lot of antique/vintage/thrift stores and cafes with interesting interior. Take this one for example:


They serve Ethiopian food and drinks here, as well as fresh food smoothie which was very delicious X3


I actually pictured ''Sweet Obsession'' to look prettier inside though, in reality it's quite neat and simple looking 'w'


There were so many cakes to choose from, I had a hard time deciding OAO''. We ended up both getting chocolate cakes XD. The cakes were yummy and best of all they weren't super sweet.

White Chocolate Raspberry Mousse
Neopolitan Cake
All the servers there were male, and the one who served us was pretty cute as well ^w^. Definitely coming back there again



BTW, I did my own nails.

A Midsummer Picnic


Back when the weather was still warm, me and all the girls from Angelpolis had our 2nd official party. The theme this time was a picnic in the park. The location is Stanley Park Rose Garden. I really like and recommended this park since it was pretty and quiet, also easy to access and close to Downtown area :)



All of the food was prepared by our talented members, Tamie made the savories and Gail baked the sweets <3. 

Rose Macarons
Blueberry Chocolate Cookies
Peach Tart
Cream Cakes , arent those animals super cute <3?
Smoked Salmon & Bacon

Cucumber, egg salad sandwiches and turkey croissants
Tamie also prepared her own mix of Rose tea, and Karen brought some Rooibos teas.
It was so delightful enjoying delicious homemade foods and tea while surrounded by flowers. I've had quite a lot of afternoon tea experiences, but this was the best yet. Not to mention we only had to pay very little for all those goodies ;w;b. Tamie and Gail are the best XD

Most of us brought our own tea cup, however Tamie also brought some from her cup set collection to share too.


I believe this afternoon tray belongs to Uzuki, very romantic looking, make me want one


Another adorable item, Alice in Wonderland teapot . After all it can't be a tea party without the Mad Hatter right ;) ?



I also got the chance to talk more to other members, most I've known for a long time but barely had a conversation with. So it was really nice to get to know more about them

Here's what I wore to the party, though I didnt manage to get any full body shot D; *failed*

When the sun started going down, some members had to leave while Tamie, Uzuki, Karen , Sharon and me went for some light dinner.
It was really hard to find a cafe opened around 9pm since it was a Monday, all the nice places we wanted to visit close that day so we had to chose Aberdeen mall.  Was a bad idea trying out ''7th Heaven Cafe'', I had tomato based Borscht  soup and even I'd be honest Campbell's canned vegetable soup tasted much better. Never going back there again, while interior and atmosphere is nice if the food sucks it's not worth it. 

That's it for this post, thank you for reading
